And he is still moving: surprises continue KSC General Assembly The furore seems to lie at KSC. The continuation of the KSC General Assembly was marked by turmoil in contrast to the meeting of 30 September smoothly. However, there were few surprises: First, , President Paul Metzger a synopsis of his first 35 days in office and provided insight into his inner life. Metzger was affected by the sometimes harsh criticism of the press and members of his administration. Some reports were "below the belt" have and have his reputation and that of the association harmed, "the lame duck mayor of Bretten - probably in view of allegations that he had the evening of his choice," spoken with a thick tongue "and give the sport club his popular kind of ridiculous "price. However, Metzger was also self-critical: "I admit that I am an apprentice as president of a professional football clubs, but I can and will learn. "
Regarding the financial situation of the members of a butcher KSC agreed to a looming deficit of two million euros in the current season. Nevertheless, the team should be strengthened where possible. The players ceiling was too thin, "we are obliged to act," said Metzger. The goal for the early commitment of Serhat Akin, the club lots attacker is currently training with the second team. Funds for further purchases of players to be mobilized by an early agreement with the right dealer Michael Kölmel. In 2000 joined the descent with the KSC into a marketing agreement, which feeds the 15 million D-mark and so the threat of Averted bankruptcy. With the assigned Bureau Raase it came to battle over the high charges - 15 percent of television revenue - related and because of the unlimited duration of many in the organization perceived as unfair deal. Because of the damp to second division club hours pay only could not - and defers Kölmel the amounts due - and not pay more after the rise was, residues in the tens of millions of dollars have been earned. Money that the club is indeed on the high edge, but can not spend because of a dispute with Kölmel and after securing the DFL. The now negotiated compromise is as follows: 7:00 to 10:00 Kölmel receives million euros immediately, other three million euros from the contingency reserve can keep the KSC. Further reduced the participation Kölmel the television money from 15 to 10 percent, also receives the KSC the option to redeem in 2019 for a fixed amount of € 13.6 million under the contract. The starting today until the deadline discharged television money will be charged on this sum, however, is the involvement continues after 2019, until the Association shall exercise the option. In the coming week, the board of this proposed solution will have to approve that deal with the issue. Kölmel has set next Friday for a "deadline" for agreement, then would the 20th for the Scheduled November trial canceled. President Metzger courted the approval of the board: "If there is to complain, there is again bad headlines, ancestors are summoned as witnesses and will be discussed on our reliability."
Given the millions of dollars to them as cut only by our ears were, some had members enter KSC-like goalkeeper Jeff Kornetzky after the 0-4 home defeat against St. Pauli. But one thing should be clear: When dealing with the right dealer Michael Kölmel it is for the club in fact not about victory or defeat, but the question whether that is now lying on the table or beneficial compromise rather disadvantageous. It starts with the realization: Who wants a permanent contract out will have to pay the contractor an appropriate compensation. Remains to be determined whether the price negotiated now, because nothing more is here, is cheap or overvalued. First of all would be resolved with the payment to Kölmel the problem of arrears. The compromise would be the risk - if the club would lose the upcoming process - having to pay out the entire provisions, stop, and mobilized an additional three million. The second compromise is Kölmel profit share fell by five percent, even here there is cause for joy. Compromise is number three: Here is the crucial Point of future earnings. The higher the long-term revenue of the club, is less expensive, in principle, the rescission. What counts is the sporting success. The advantage would be that now a fixed amount is agreed upon and not internal 2019 revaluation. Get on the club, could all be paid by the deadline, then he plays International, he would have saved millions.
On the other hand Kölmel waiting for years for his money that he gets now. If the next ten years of success, he might make even a good deal, if not, he at least has not lost anything. Looks for a win-win situation, and how often this anywhere else in football. In court shall in all cases, only one can win.
came in light of these developments, the actual main item on the agenda, election of two vice presidents almost in the background. As a successor to current Vízesés, Rainer Schütterle and Michael Steidl, both no longer competed, chose the nearly five hundred members and ex-pro Arno Glesius Board Rolf Hauer. Former KSC Security Officer Ulrich Jaeck could not prevail.
